Common questions about Model Studio applications and data management.

Application Center

  1. What types of tools are currently supported?

    The system currently provides six built-in tools: Python code interpreter, Calculator, Image generation, Quark search, QR code generation, and GitHub search. Some of them require approval before use.

  2. Am I charged for custom tools?

    Custom tool services are currently free of charge. However, charges apply when you configure agent APIs if prompt optimization, application calls, or test window testing is involved.

  3. For the tools or functions I define myself, how does the Assistant API understand their parameters and use them?

    Custom API tools are understood: the protocol is followed and passed to the large model for understanding. For functions, the model learns from the input parameter information and returns complete results.

  4. What is the biggest difference between an agent and the Assistant API?

    For tool and model adjustment and context-based understanding, you can develop them yourself, while the Assistant API provides various classes for convenient tuning.

  5. In which domains has Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) been applied? Please elaborate.

    With its powerful retrieval and generation capabilities, the Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) model shows broad application potential and value in many domains, including Q&A systems, dialog systems, text summarization, knowledge graph construction and reasoning, education and training, customer service, news and content creation, and intelligent search and recommendation.

  6. When testing a RAG application, the model responses are inaccurate. How do I optimize this?

    Click the feedback button below the model response, select the issue type, and submit it. You can also copy the RequestId and report it to us by submitting an Alibaba Cloud ticket.

  7. AI output contains **xxxxx**. How do I display it in bold?

    ** ** is the Markdown bold marker. Parse the Markdown syntax and render it accordingly when displaying the model-generated content in your frontend.

  8. Can application replies be set to incremental output? Currently, each reply is a full response built on the previous one.

    stream=True, # Set the output mode to streaming output; incremental_output=True # Incremental streaming output;

  9. Is RAG retrieval performed in parallel or sequentially?

    Retrieval runs in parallel based on the user configuration of each knowledge base, and then the top N results are selected by score.

  10. Can Model Studio pass through custom headers when calling a custom tool? In one of our scenarios, the header appeared to be passed through, but based on the server response, it was actually not passed through.

    Custom headers are not supported. Only authorization is supported.

Data Management

  1. Uploaded files only support pdf/doc/docx files. Please retry. Error code: 140010

    When the uploaded file is in PDF format, make sure the file extension is lowercase pdf.

  2. Each workspace allows up to 100,000 uploaded documents. What should I do if a customer's files exceed this limit? Can the capacity be increased?

    Submit an Alibaba Cloud ticket to apply.

  3. What is the purpose of the required MD5 parameter in the file upload API?

    It verifies that the uploaded file is complete.

  4. My structured data contains 100 entries, but only 20 entries were found after the import. What is the reason?

    Check whether the table contains empty rows. Per the product policy, data after an empty row is not recognized. If the first row is empty, the file is treated as an empty file.

Application/Mini Program Filing

  1. My product integrates the Tongyi Qianwen large model and needs to be listed on an application marketplace or mini program platform. How do I complete the filing and apply for a cooperation agreement?
    1. Refer to the Application compliance filing guide to complete the filing.
    2. Submit a ticket to apply for a cooperation agreement for the Tongyi Qianwen series models.
